are not only small but also physically weaker than normal infants. Newspaper reporter Zhao Shicai "the brain is only the size of tennis, the thigh of the thigh is only the thickness of the doctor's thumb, the blood vessel is as thin as silk thread, and the skin is as thin as paper..." Because of the lack of months, premature babies are mostly such "pocket" appearance. There is only one premature infant in every 20 newborn babies in the Ji'nan maternal and child health hospital. Not paying attention to health care during pregnancy is the main reason for premature delivery.
[b] preterm birth rate increases [/b]
each year, nearly 22 million babies worldwide have less than 2500 grams of weight at birth, most of which are preterm babies, and the rate of preterm birth has risen over the past twenty years.
2005, a national multi center research report pointed out that the proportion of premature infants in the whole country has exceeded 7%. Now this proportion is increasing. According to conservative estimates, about 8.1% of the newborns are premature babies in the whole country every year.
last year, about 486 premature infants were treated in Ji'nan maternal and child health care center, of which 2 cases were below 28 weeks of gestation. "Although there is no specific data statistics, it is obvious that there are more and more premature babies in recent years," said Guan Shucai, deputy chief physician of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Ji'nan municipal four hospital.
normally, the fetus needs to grow for 40 weeks in the maternal body, that is, "conceive October", and premature babies are born between 28 and 37 weeks.
[b] infection is a common cause of [/b]
[/b]
quasi mother Xiao Liu pregnancy 27 weeks, feel vaginal itching from time to time, secretion increased, color is pale yellow, the doctor diagnosed as mycotic vaginitis. Guan Shucai said that due to changes in hormone levels, the majority of preterm pregnant women have infection problems.
it is reported that infection may be endogenous, such as pregnant women infected with gynecologic inflammation before pregnancy or after pregnancy, causing premature birth, and vaginitis, chlamydia, mycoplasma infection and other diseases may lead to premature rupture of membranes and lead to premature birth; exogenous premature delivery has a certain relationship with environmental pollution, radiation and so on. Often aborted pregnant women, because of cervical relaxation, it is easy to cause premature delivery of the fetus. The original sterile maternal, the use of IVF technology, often conceived more than one child, multiple births are also a factor that can not be ignored for preterm delivery.
[b] increased risk of obesity during pregnancy [/b]
[/b]
in addition to infection, women in Ji'nan did not pay attention to pregnancy health care. Malnutrition was the biggest cause of premature birth.
mention malnutrition, people will be linked to thin and weak, on the contrary, the municipal maternity and child health care hospital director of Obstetrics Dan Ruiqin said that, unlike Beijing, Shanghai and other big cities, influenced by traditional ideas, most of the pregnant women in Ji'nan are overweight. "In general, the weight gain of pregnant women with moderate stature in the whole pregnancy is 12.5 kilograms, and the increase of 15-20 kg for pregnant women in Ji'nan is very common." Tian Jingxia, deputy chief physician and associate professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Ji'nan Central Hospital, said.
fat does not mean health. Dan Ruiqin said that many overweight pregnant women are partial to eat, eat a lot, but lack of nutrition, mainly lack of protein.
generally, in the middle of the pregnancy, pregnant women need about 15 to 20 grams of protein a day, that is, a daily intake of 100 to 200 grams of fish and shrimp, but few people can really do it. Protein deficiency can cause anemia, nutritional edema and pregnancy induced hypertension syndrome, resulting in miscarriage and premature delivery.
[b] preterm birth has three symptoms [/b]
prematurity, low birth weight, immature development, low survival rate and high cost, so prevention is very important.
Ji Xianglan, director of Obstetrics and Gynecology of Qianfo Hill Hospital of Shandong Province, said that the cost of preterm children is very large, and about 30 weeks usually cost about 45 thousand yuan. Moreover, complications in the late stage of preterm infants are a major problem, such as cerebral palsy and hearing impairment.
Ji Xianglan says there are three main symptoms of premature delivery. Lower abdominal pain, similar to the premenstrual sensation, the regular contraction of the uterus and the hard stomach, 6 or more times per hour contraction, each time lasting at least 40 seconds, and this kind of pain may not be painful or not; persistent lower back, vaginal discharge, or red blood, or bleeding, colic or not Stopping diarrhoea, etc., is the abnormal secretion of the secretions.
doctors advise that if signs of premature birth occur, regardless of the time or severity, they should be treated in time to reduce the risk of premature delivery.
